The first part of the project was to study two photographs in the course material and to find the implied lines. I can't show this here but in the bullfighting image there seemed to be an implied circular movement with the bull-fighter in the centre and a strong implied line to the right - the expected movement of the bull. In the Gotthard Schuh shot of the man training two horses, there are two implied lines; one is of the man moving towards the centre of the frame but a stronger one from the horses to a position in the middle of the lower frame edge.
In the second part, we were asked to select three of our own photos from the past which we could use to show 'implied lines', either an eye line or the extension of a line that points.
The shot on the left shows a clear focus of attention on our grand-daughter, Jessica, from both of her parents and her grandma.
The third part of the project was to plan and take two photos that use either an eye-line to lead the eye or the extension of a line, or lines that point.
I have chosen three shots as shown below-
The shot on the left shows a clear focus of attention on our grand-daughter, Jessica, from both of her parents and her grandma.
Secondly, the middle photo of the three figures gives a very strong line of direction to the left and out of the frame. I love this shot; I wanted to capture the wonderful ochre colour between these buildings in Jerez and this trio came along at just the right moment!
Finally, a shot I have used before but with a very clear sense of direction from the diagonal line of the kayak, the direction of the man and the off-centre composition.
The third part of the project was to plan and take two photos that use either an eye-line to lead the eye or the extension of a line, or lines that point.
As an example of an eye-line, I took the following shot, of a group of young men, in Cádiz. The eye-lines of the young man on the right, and the rather portly gentleman leaning on the wall, are both directed to the group on the left.
This shot was taken without a tripod, using my Canon camera and Tamron 18 - 270mm lens @109mm, ISO 400, f/5.6 and shutter speed of 1/200s.
As an example of an extension of a line that points, I wanted to highlight the figure on the right (my wife!) as she was doing some stretching exercises, but within the context of the construction work going on behind. I was able to use the upright of the pergola on the right to 'point' at her, thus making her more obvious in the frame within a rather busy composition.
